A completely unofficial fansite for The Settlers: Rise of an Empire.

News

I'm having a major case of restless fingers, so I might actually do something 'round here. I feel like continuing my stories and giving this 'ere site an overhaul. Just because. *shrugs* Yeah, I'm feeling lonely. *glares at ghosts of Rose, heather and everyone else*

*wipes dust off vestholm.webs* Okay, while I'm likely the only person visiting every now and then I'm feeling particularly settlersy after replaying the game, so I'm going to update and overhaul this here website. Just so you know.

Granted, shovelling around several hundreds of Gigabytes of stuffs isn't fun, but it's all worth it and I should soon be able to resume everything I was forced to put on hold until I'd have a computer that doesn't require a complete re-install every couple of days.

*does celebratory ducky dance and hands out free cookies to everyone, then affectionately pets super silent and powerful 'Sharkoon' that looks all content and ready for some serious work while old computer falls apart next to it*

Also, I miss Outlook Express as horrible as it is. 0_o

Windows Live Mail, really? And what's up with the Desktop shortcut? I needs to move my left hand to press keys now? But I'm lazy! *shakes fist*

Anyway, now that I'll hopefully be back to business, here's what needs to be done:

Overhaul this website to make it more appealing now that we get the odd new member every few months. Even if no one visits here anymore. *glares at Rose and heatherek*

Overhaul this website. Yes, really. Needs easier to access character profiles and fanon (I cringe at that word) timeline.

WRITE! Still no laptop but hey, it won't feel like such a waste on a working computer, I hope.

Webs is taking down the wiki app on the first of September, in two days time, which shall be met with much rejoicing as that EasyEdit thing was a pain. Until I have time to find some sort of alternative, if you want any of the material from the wiki, comment here or pop me a line. I've got the whole thing backed up, although it was a rush job and it doesn't look pretty. *shudders*

EDIT (14-09-11): Well, that was pointless. Wiki's still up, apparently. Since it might go down any day, however, I've created a subforum as a replacement, as per Rockerduck's suggestion. Feel free to move any information over there; I'll try and do some when I have more time.

A new forum category has been created to house random fics that you don't want to inflict on FF.N, for whatever reason - abundance of fluff, incompleteness, you name it. Time Lies can be found there as well.

The Bookshop is not a spoiler free zone - anything goes in that regard. Read at your own risk. That said, keep it PG. Kids read these, ya know.

The forum system has been reshuffled slightly. There are four forums now.

The Castle is for gameplay help. That's where I'll go running to when I try and fail to beat Rossotorres ... I mean, where you can go to get help with how to actually play the game.

The Storehouse is for writing help. If you need someone to beta-read a story or have a question about characterisation, setting, et cetera, this is where you go. It has a spoiler-free policy detailed in the forum itself.

The Marketplaceis for Settlers chat that doesn't fit into the above - for instance, if you've done some nice new fanart or something.

The Rook and Pony is where the moderators/regular writers go to discuss spoilery stuff. Created mostly because Rocky wanted it. *ducks the raisin cookies*
